2 Maccabees 15:11-13

Revised Standard Version

¹¹ He armed each of them not so much with confidence in shields and spears as with the inspiration of brave words, and he cheered them all by relating a dream, a sort of vision,^[a] which was worthy of belief.

¹² What he saw was this: Oni′as, who had been high priest, a noble and good man, of modest bearing and gentle manner, one who spoke fittingly and had been trained from childhood in all that belongs to excellence, was praying with outstretched hands for the whole body of the Jews. ¹³ Then likewise a man appeared, distinguished by his gray hair and dignity, and of marvelous majesty and authority.
